MAGA: the Party of Mass Deportation

What It Would Take to Deport Millions of Immigrants
Donald Trump is calling for the biggest deportation program in American history.
The costs and hurdled would be enormous.​

So, too, the horror that will scar millions of families for generations. It's a dystopia in which a neofascist cults seduces its base with the promise of gut-wrenching family separation replete with cattle cars, detention camps, and unfathomable cost -- and the base cheers.

I don't believe that he actually intends to do it.
But it sounds good to Magas who don't consider
the all the consequences, eg, harming the economy,
civil rights violations, increasing government spending.

There are a lot of things Trump pretends to care about that he doesn't really. I don't think he really cares about Trans people, I don't think he really cares about abortion, I don't think he even cares about guns.

But I really do think he really hates foreigners. I think that is one thing he is really sincere about.




But regardless of his personal feelings, I think he is going to hire people who really do care about these things and let them do it, not because he cares but because he doesn't. All he cares about is "ratings".

""There's only one thing that matters: ratings. You can be nice, or you can be mean, you can be evil, you can be horrible. If you don't have ratings, it doesn't matter" - Donald J. Trump

It's like his fight to end abortion rights.
Who knows if he really cares about it.
But it's his persona. His political agenda.

And either way, people are going to get hurt.

I don't think he cares about others.
I judge him to be a sociopath.

As I tried to tell you back in 2015.

Too late.
Already saw it.
Even a broken clock can be right twice a day.

Not if it is a digital clock.

There are a lot of things politician don't care about but will claim they do to get votes.

All foreigners are just illegal border crosses?

But regardless of his personal feelings, I think he is going to hire people who really do care about these things and let them do it, not because he cares but because he doesn't. All he cares about is "ratings".

I agree with that. If you don't have ratings, you don't have a chance.

 

[fantome profane]

I agree with that. If you don't have ratings, you don't have a chance.

But I hope you wouldn't do anything truly evil just to get "ratings".

Would you?

What about his first wife Ivana and his third wife Melania? Both are foreign-born, and Ivana even had a sham marriage to someone in Switzerland when she left Czechoslovakia so she could get back into Czechoslovakia to visit her parents.

Part vote spinner part racist dog whistle. If attempted, it’ll stumble along ineffectively for a few years and create a big mess that will be blamed on the Dems/liberal media etc. The idiot brigade will claim ‘they’ prevented Trump from making America into a ‘pure’ nation, where only blond people are allowed to be rapists.

He’s ok with white foreigners.

And I!!! Trump was equally clear to me in 2015, and I wrote a ton of posts right here, as well.

If attempted, it’ll stumble along ineffectively ...

It may "stumble along ineffectively" as it did with the the covid crisis and family during Trumps last term, or it will move forward with greater effectiveness thanks to a more solidly and less encumbered Christian white nationalist administration, a fully coopted political party, and a completely compromised Supreme Court. IN either case, the victims of Trump's "American carnage" - the immigrant families, the minorities, the LGBTQ+ community, the women, the seniors - will likely be focused on the impact of the process rather than its effectiveness.

I look at it this way.
If a illegal alien breaks the law (beyond entering the country illegally) then they should be deported. And by break the law I mean any law that envolves violent crimes, or any that could result in being charged with a felony.

The thing is - they just come back over.

MAGA folks who were, only a few years ago, saying that Biden was going to round them up and put them in concentration camps are now OK with doing that to others. Many call themselves Christian. Wonder when they ditched the Jesus' Golden Rule in favor of the Mango Mussolini?

Perhaps you should look at it this way ...

WASHINGTON — Senate Democrats failed to advance a bipartisan border security bill Thursday, with nearly every Republican voting to filibuster it as Donald Trump wields border chaos as a centerpiece of his campaign against President Joe Biden.​

​

The vote was 43-50, falling short of the 60 needed to proceed. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska was the only GOP senator to vote to advance the bill Thursday, while six Democrats voted with the remaining Republican senators to block it.​

​

The vote caps a peculiar sequence of events after Senate Republican leaders insisted on a border security agreement last year and signed off on a compromise bill before they knifed it. Democrats, wary of their political vulnerability when it comes to migration, had acceded to a variety of GOP demands to raise the bar for asylum-seekers and tighten border controls. Trump pressured GOP lawmakers to kill any deal that wasn’t “perfect,” and he succeeded.​

​

The vote, while it had been expected to end in failure, was brought up to put Republicans on record in opposition to the bipartisan compromise.​

​

“Trump told his MAGA allies to kill it in its tracks so he could exploit the issue on the campaign trail,” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., told reporters after the vote. “And Senate Republicans blindly and loyally followed suit.”​

But that would require acknowledging MAGA's opportunistic sabotage.
